THIS is Why More People Are Leaving Home

Is the rising cost of living forcing ordinary people to rethink where—and how—they live? In this video, we compare what the same monthly budget can buy in Chiang Mai, Thailand: our dog-friendly condo at 25,000 THB, a far cheaper condo nearby, and a full house available for roughly the same rent as ours. But this video is about much more than property. Across the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, people are looking at their rent, mortgages, bills and everyday expenses and asking a much bigger question: Could our money—and our lives—go further somewhere else? We are not suggesting that everyone should move to Thailand, sell everything or leave their home country. We are simply showing why more ordinary people are beginning to explore moving abroad, retiring overseas, working remotely or building a different kind of life in a lower-cost country.

(แสนสิริ) US…. We left the UK and moved to Thailand after realising that the traditional path no longer suited the life we wanted to build. This is not financial advice, immigration advice or a claim that Thailand is right for everyone. It is our genuine experience of moving abroad, starting again and discovering how dramatically location can affect your cost of living and quality of life.
